Oh Wow. Poststar and ADE are reporting this morning that DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis was fired yesterday for “poor performance and insubordination”. Likely a result of “The Memo” which recently appeared that criticized the potential department cuts proposed by the Paterson Administration.
As a Spitzer appointee, it’s actually amazing that Grannis lasted this long. Now with DEC leaderless, except for the remaining career-staff, this department will be in limbo until a new Governor and his minions are “elected”. On the plus-side, he can now speak freely.
After seeing that travesty of a “debate”, are we really left with one choice? Will New York ever get out of this Death-spiral?
